  • Collaborate with other MAAS engineers, data center hardware specialists, teams responsible for certifying hardware for Ubuntu, kernel engineers, and other teams who use the hardware lab.
Requirements

  • Curiosity to find out why some systems misbehave, and drive to figure out how to make them behave.
  • Python programming experience.
  • Linux Administration experience.
